Twelve young men, women, and girls stand in front of a one-story sod house with a hipped roof, used as a schoolhouse, about 18 miles southwest of Seibert, Colorado. A school bell is on the roof, with a shovel lying nearby; the building was called "Sunnyside" or "Sunny Slopes" and was in district 19. The women and girls wear white dresses, and young men wear caps and suits or overalls; the woman second from the right is Mrs. Mertel Love.
